This duo decided to pool their creative ambitions, to give birth to the Shining Tapes, a project of original compositions inviting musical reminiscences such as David Bowie, Radiohead, Archive, Pink Floyd, Talk Talk, Talking Heads, Depeche Mode, Peter Gabriel, and the dreamlike and mysterious universes of JRR Tolkien, Stephen King, David Lynch.
​
In their current creative process, Vincent A. mainly brings the musical raw material which is then kneaded by the singer and co-arranger Fred. Bonnier, delivering powerful and heady melodies with a voice enveloped in both femininity and masculinity.

The Shining Tapes are the sonic illusions that lie dormant in us, where shadow meets light. It is the emotions that they arouse, steeped in contradictions, that adjust the balance between yin and yang, those that summon madness and lead us astray in a labyrinth, or reason that guides us to the end of the tunnel.
